It tastes bitter, and has a somewhat familiar feel to it.
As a child, Jiang Luoluo disliked drinking tea and hot water, preferring sweet fruit juice drinks.
But as I got older, I inexplicably started to enjoy drinking tea, and my cups changed from stylish glass straw cups to insulated cups.
I also add things like red dates and goji berries from time to time.
After eating too much jam and drinking too much sweet meat soup, Jiang Luoluo let out a satisfied sigh when she tasted this slightly bitter and refreshing flavor again.
The little girl was misled by Jiang Luoluo's behavior, thinking it was something good again, and curiously took a big bite, only to have her face contorted in bitterness.
"Wow, Luo, why are you drinking something so bitter?" The little girl stuck out her tongue and turned to rummage through the jam in the house to get some for Jiang Luoluo to relieve the bitterness.
Jiang Luoluo shook her head and refused, but instead asked the little girl happy for a lot more dried flowers, intending to take them home and soak them in water to drink whenever she had free time.
The little girl didn't understand, but respected Jiang Luoluo's idea and enthusiastically packed a large pile of dried flowers for her.
After eating some more melon seeds, Jiang Luoluo noticed that the rain outside had lessened a bit, so she gestured to the little girl, wanting to go see what plants she had planted in her yard.
Not many families in the tribe grow plants in their own yards. The shamans usually grow herbs and other medicinal plants that can cure diseases and save lives. I wonder what the little girl Xi's father grows at home.
The little girl quickly nodded in agreement, pulled Jiang Luoluo to the back door, opened the wooden window, and together they stepped onto the wooden crates and peered out the window.
As she watched, the little girl happily explained things to Jiang Luoluo.
"Luo, this is a cooling herb. When you have a sore throat, you can boil it and steep it in water to drink, and the pain will subside quickly."
Jiang Luoluo silently watched the plant swaying in the rain. If she wasn't mistaken, it was... mint.
"Also, Luo, look over there, that's bark grass. My father told me that there's a kind of wild animal that really likes to eat this grass. It gets very excited when it sees it, so he always carries some with him so that he can use it to attract similar wild animals when he encounters them."
Jiang Luoluo looked again and realized that it was catnip, so... it was specially grown to deal with wild animals like the "Siberian Golden Shaded Bigcat"?
"And over there, Luo, look, that's white peony. Let me tell you, it can be used to reduce swelling in wounds. It's very effective. Every time Dad comes back injured, he uses it to treat his wounds."
Jiang Luoluo examined it carefully and finally confirmed... the plant with flowers blooming like clouds and shaped like a large umbrella seemed to be Angelica dahurica.
Jiang Luoluo was flattered to find several useful plants all at once, as if she had just picked up several hundred yuan while out shopping.
But after thinking about it carefully, Jiang Luoluo felt that it was actually quite normal.
In any case, the Frostfire Tribe has been around for over 1,500 years. During this time, regardless of how well they have explored the surrounding environment, they have at least unlocked most of the encyclopedia entries that should be available.
The medicinal effects of various plants have been discovered, but because of the limited diet and lack of demand for cooking, this area has not been further developed.
When Jiang Luoluo transmigrated, she began to consciously explore this area. The various plants collected by her predecessors were placed there, waiting for future generations to discover their new uses. Naturally, it felt like gold was everywhere.
Jiang Luoluo's eyes flickered. She suddenly realized that the place she should go was actually the herb field of the mountain shaman.
She had never thought about it this way before, subconsciously assuming that the plants used by the witch as herbs were all plants she didn't recognize or know in this world, and had nothing to do with the various seasonings she needed.
However, it was only then that Jiang Luoluo realized that the seasonings and other ingredients she took for granted actually had their own medicinal value in ancient times.
For example, Jiang Luoluo's subconscious understanding of ginger is that it can be added to dishes to remove fishy smells.
To think of it further, elders in the family might use it to soak in liquor to drink, or they might make it into ginger candy for children to eat regularly to prevent minor colds or chills.
This is the medicinal value of ginger.
Or rather, many seasonings initially appeared as medicinal herbs, used to treat various ailments, before their culinary talents were discovered.
Jiang Luoluo suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment, as if she had been struck by lightning. At first, she thought about going out to explore and find those plants herself, or finding someone to find plants with similar effects for her.
Looking back now, it would have been much simpler for her to just raid the witch's herb garden. She could have ignored a ready-made treasure trove right in front of her; truly...
However, this is not actually Jiang Luoluo's problem. She transmigrated to a strange world and became a cub without parents, memories, or even the ability to speak.
If it weren't for the fact that she had gained the witch's approval and support a couple of days ago, Jiang Luoluo would never have dared to go to the witch's place to look for anything so casually.
No matter how friendly the shaman may seem, he is still the most respected person in the tribe and should not be easily offended.
